How does Kubernetes help an API automatically handle many more users by increasing the number of running copies of the API service?



The API service runs within one or more containers, which are encapsulated in Kubernetes Pods. A Pod is the smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, containing the application code and its dependencies. A Kubernetes Deployment manages these Pods, declaring the desired number of identical copies, known as replicas, of the API service that should be running. This Deployment ensures that the specified number of Pods is always active and provides declarative updates. For external users to access the API, a Kubernetes Service provides a stable network endpoint, abstracting away the individual Pods. This Service automatically performs load balancing, distribut....
